Wyrd Ouija
For this spooky Halloween special, the Wyrdo’s dive into one of the most famous tools of the paranormal—the Ouija board. Craig and Andy explore its history, its modern-day use, and the scary real-world stories associated with it. They even risk it all by conducting their own séance live on air, where they make contact with a benevolent spirit named "Bob."
In this episode, we're covering:
- Ouija's History & Hype: The board's origins as a parlor game, its popularity during the spiritualist movement, and its current reputation as a terrifying tool of the occult.
- The Science & Skepticism: The logical explanations behind the board's movements, including unconscious muscle movements and collective belief.
- Real-Life Horror Stories: A series of true crime cases where the Ouija board was used to justify murder and other dark deeds.
- The On-Air Séance: The hosts attempt to contact a spirit and make contact with a benevolent spirit named "Bob."
- Houdini's Legacy: The famous debunker's pact with his wife to try to contact him after death, and why he may have been a spirit no medium could ever reach.
